European support office in the field of asylum (EASO) predicts the growth of the terrorist group “Islamic state” in connection with the pandemic coronavirus. This is stated in a special report of the Bureau published on its official website on may 12.

According to EASO, the strengthening of ISIS can lead to the suspension of coalition operations in the middle East and the diversion of local armed forces, for assistance to eliminate the consequences of the pandemic (e.g., for curfew). The Bureau believe that ISIS could exploit the situation to regroup and return to activity in much of the region.

“This scenario combined with potential food shortages and the destabilization of security can lead to an increase in migration [to the EU] over the medium term”, – the report says.
